Google Photos ends unlimited backup feature; what it means for end-users

Starting June 1, 2021, Google Photos will no longer offer free unlimited backup, and any files uploaded after that will be a part of the 15GB default cloud storage users get with a new Google account.

Google says even with the change, "over 80 per cent of you should still be able to store roughly three more years worth of memories with your free 15 GB of storage." So what happens after you reach that limit? Pay up.
